Shortly before Erzurum we made a stopover at a petrol station to restock our petrol. Afterward the 3 Deloreans had an technical maintenance with checking and lubricate the ball joints. Of course immediately we were surrounded by onlookers. ( The petrol station is also a bus station)

Now our cars are one week on the road and according to this they were dusty and dirty. Maybe he had a pity or he saw a chance for a business , but the guy that had cleaned the buses had offered , also to clean our cars. We have gladly accepted and has actively supported him.
